VirtualBox*
Virtual Box is an open source is a x86 virtualization product released

An OS/2-eCS port of GTK+ will open the doors to run several Linux
applications under this platform. Some applications that runs with GTK are
GIMP, Abiword, Dia, Glade, GnuCash, Gnumeric.

| SW: Testers wanted for updated Postgresql/2 |
2007-10-03
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul Smedley
Hi All,
Could anyone that's interested in testing a build of Postgresql v8.2.5
please contact me off list? [Please contact Paul via email at
paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.id.au Remove the DESPAM from the address before
sending.]
I don't use this extensively - so I'd like a small group of testers who are
more knowledgeable to test the binaries before I do a public release.
Cheers,
Paul.

| SW: KompoZer 0.7.10 for OS/2 (standalone WYSIWYG HTML editor) |
2007-10-03
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Peter Weilbacher
I have created an OS/2 package of KompoZer 0.7.10 for OS/2. This is the
current standalone WYSIWYG HTML editor based on Mozilla code. Please
download it from http://weilbacher.org/Mozilla/builds.html
It needs the old libc 0.5.1 from
http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc-0.5.1.exe
to run.
There are no OS/2 specific changes from the last release (which was 0.7.7)
but it should have taken up all the cross-platform work done over the last
year. See
http://kompozer.net/about
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=170132&release_id=530986
for listings of the changes.
Peter Weilbacher.

| SW: Open Watcom v1.7a release candidate ready |
2007-10-07
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: "Peter C. Chapin"
I've put together a release candidate for version 1.7a. It can be
downloaded from the usual places (there is a link on the Wiki's main page).
This is a full download and not just a patch. I may experiment with
creating a patch later. However, I wanted to get this update posted now.
I'd be particularly interested to hear if this new version works for those
who had trouble with the 1.7 regression.
Peter
OpenWatcom web site: http://openwatcom.org
"2007-10-06: Open Watcom version 1.7a, release candidate 1 is now available
for download. This version fixes an obscure but significant regression in
1.7 relative to 1.6. It contains no new features or bug fixes compared to
1.7.h"
